Uf, it's working now.
First, since it worked with FWTools 1.2.3 I thought the driver was 
already in 1.4
To get it work with 1.5 I had to workaround some difficulties that may 
worth leave a record of.

-  Firstly, I had previously downloaded the last libcurl-7.15.5 devel no 
SSL. It compiles fine with 1.4.3
   but not with trunk, since it has not a libcurl_imp.lib.
-  Next, downloaded libcurl-7.15.1-msvc-win32-ssl-0.9.8a-zlib-1.2.3.zip 
which contains the named lib
    But it also contains a zlib1.dll which shows up in "orange" on the 
dependency walker of gdal15.dll.
    My past (recent) sufferings with that send me on a search of a new 
zlib1 library. Found one at
    sourceforge that works well.
